[Verse 1]
Mud on my boots,
same on my hands.
Long days, long roads,
I do what I can.
Back bent low,
still I stand tall.
Carry that weight,
I won't let it fall.
[Pre-Chorus]
They see the grin,
they don't see the scar.
They know the march,
not the man I are.
I held that line,
I held it alone.
Now I come home
with a heart of stone.
[Chorus]
Soldier heart, soldier heart
(no one knows)
Soldier heart, soldier heart
(still I glow)
I paid in pain,
I built this life.
Best life now,
I earned this right.
[Verse 2]
Cold on my skin,
fire in my chest.
Every hard hour,
I gave my best.
Missed too much,
lost some sleep.
Still I rose up,
kept my keep.
[Pre-Chorus]
They see the medals,
not the nights I bled.
They hear the cheer,
not the words unsaid.
I learned to break,
then hold my frame.
Now I dance through it,
wearing my name.
[Chorus]
Soldier heart, soldier heart
(no one knows)
Soldier heart, soldier heart
(still I glow)
I paid in pain,
I built this life.
Best life now,
I earned this right.
[Bridge]
If you knew my road,
you'd know my face.
Every bruise turned gold,
every loss got grace.
So let me live,
let me shine.
Hard work made me
more than fine.
[Final Chorus]
Soldier heart, soldier heart
(no one knows)
Soldier heart, soldier heart
(still I glow)
I paid in pain,
I built this life.
Best life now,
I earned this right.
Soldier heart, soldier heart
(no one knows)
Soldier heart, soldier heart
(best life, best life)
